Reporter well, jim the city of chester is a city with high crime yet surprisingly few surveillance cameras out on the street. Thats about to change now. The city has the money to move forward with a new initiative to install more outdoor surveillance cameras and better utilize those that already exist like the one here on the side of this riteaid where a store manager was murdered. In fact, riteaid made a donation today to help make this happen.

Reporter the new cameras will be wired into a centralized network. Riteaid is allowing its cameras on the west ninth street store to be a part that of network.

Obviously its tiny doses but incremental improvement and heading in the right direction. Finally those dallas haters among us will call it revenge or karma but after a controversial call helped theme into the second round of the playoff another ended their playoff run. Last night dez bryant made what looked to be an incredible catch at the goal line fourth down, down five. But it was reversed when officials deemed he did not maintain possession throughout the play. The ball hit the ground. According to the rule if the ball hits the grounds its an incomplete pass. Instead of being a yard away from a potential game winning touchdown the packers were able to run out the clock. I called it. I came down i caught it. I came down with it and tried to reach for the goal line. How frustrating is it to have this game end on that type of call . I cant believe it, thats all i can say, i cant believe it.
